You will, however, find the new addictive AB game through the just launched <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_mas2?ie=UTF8&amp;node=2350149011" target="_blank">Amazon AppStore</a>, which you can download the game free of change(with no ads to boot) for a limited time(today only), then it'll be $.99 thereafter.</p> <p>You must have an Amazon.com account, and it also appears that you have to have a credit card on file to download the game(after you download/install the Amazon AppStore app). But hey, it's Angry Birds, and there are no catches that would keep me away from my Angry Birds addiction(lol).</p> <p>Also, you must have the Amazon AppStore installed at all time in order to run Angry Birds Rio, but you can uninstall the other Amazon app, if you so desire.</p> <p>Anyways...the game runs extremely well on my Droid X. It's fun. It's addicting(like all AB games are). And it's free. Three things that should get you to download the game.</p> <p>So, what you waiting for? Go download Rio now!</p> <p>(Also, this game rocks..but I highly doubt the movie will..just sayin')</p></div>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-59201862522670959992011-03-10T18:09:00.001-08:002011-03-10T18:09:22.563-08:00Xbox LIVE Labs Testing Program Initiated<div class='posterous_autopost'><p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-03-10/udHbdHpIAxcwssBpxrlvdhnCgEnFeyFmlGjkhGvJyxqxnkxgfkeBfCtipjsv/xbox_live_labs1.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Xbox_live_labs1" height="282" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-03-10/udHbdHpIAxcwssBpxrlvdhnCgEnFeyFmlGjkhGvJyxqxnkxgfkeBfCtipjsv/xbox_live_labs1.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-03-10/DgoulqdBCvhniaHIvrEHlEJizAvGtuyadJigJmlyIjtFGoazIfztCdbaAFji/xbox_live_labs2.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Xbox_live_labs2" height="282" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-03-10/DgoulqdBCvhniaHIvrEHlEJizAvGtuyadJigJmlyIjtFGoazIfztCdbaAFji/xbox_live_labs2.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://evanthegamer.posterous.com/xbox-live-labs-testing-program-initiated">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p> <p>Today marks the start of <strong>Xbox LIVE Labs</strong>, a testing program that helps improve the overall experience of Xbox LIVE, mainly network testing.</p> <p>Xbox LIVE Labs is solely optional and voluntary, according to Major Nelson's <a href="http://majornelson.com/archive/2011/03/10/xbox-live-labs.aspx" target="_blank">blog post</a>, and grants each person who participates three Xbox LIVE avatar clothing pieces, along with three Zero Point Achievements.</p> <p>Not bad, but there are a few catches if you desire to take part.

It's unlike anything I've seen in a video game trailer in awhile. And it's pretty depressing too, but that's the whole point.</p> <p>The game takes place somewhere on a tropical island resort, probably far away from the rest of civilization, where no one can hear you scream.</p> <p>This trailer is pretty crazy to say the least, and violent. And if you didn't think children could ever be eaten by zombies, you were dead wrong.</p> <p>And Dead Island is not your ordinary zombie slashing survivor horror, this game pits you against hungry zombies and you barely have a leg to stand on, let alone running into weapon and ammo cache along the way, which apparently is a no-go. You get what you get and that's all there is to it. Survivor of the fittest, and if you aren't trying to survive by finding valuable items like baseball bats and knives, then you aren't going to survive for very long.</p> <p>Now this is a game that rings true "survival-horror", unlike the Left 4 Dead series, or really, any zombie game previously seen.</p> <p>Now go on...watch the announcement trailer below, or elsewhere, just as long as you watch it. You can thank me later, and yes, it's 3 minutes you'll be glad you wasted.</p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lZqrG1bdGtg?hd=1" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"></iframe></p></div>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-48462308851781614792011-02-11T09:05:00.001-08:002011-02-11T09:05:03.173-08:00Duke Nukem Forever: Balls of Steel Edition Announced [EPIC]<div class='posterous_autopost'><p><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-02-11/lcsFtFeemJiwmsBcvyjiCFmjwBCJudDtFtBGEdktIudhAIcqCzgqmjsoHckq/balls.jpg.scaled1000.jpg'><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-02-11/lcsFtFeemJiwmsBcvyjiCFmjwBCJudDtFtBGEdktIudhAIcqCzgqmjsoHckq/balls.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" height="466"/></a> </p> <p>Well, I knew it was going to happen, but just didn't know "when" it was going to happen.</p> <p>So today, I woke up around 8am thanks to my alarm clock, turned said alarm clock off, checked my e-mail on my powerful Droid X, which is now powered by <a href="http://www.droidforums.net/forum/liberty-rom-dx/122033-rom-one-small-step-man-one-giant-leap-liberty-1-5-2-2-2011-a.html" target="_blank">Liberty 1.5</a>&nbsp;ROM, and immediatly noticed an e-mail from the hero dev company that is <a href="http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/">Gearbox Software</a>, the subject read, "First Access Club Alert: Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition Announced!" - I was like, "WOAH!" .... "I'm totally pre-ordering that today!"</p> <p>I just knew Gearbox couldn't release <a href="http://www.dukenukemforever.com/#?age_gate" target="_blank">Duke Nukem Forever</a> without announcing a kick-ass Collector's Edition, and boy did they go all out!</p> <p>And just in case you were wondering, here's what this Bad-Ass Edition includes:</p> <ul> <li>Collectible bust of the greatest alien ass-kicker of all-time</li> <li>Numbered limited edition certificate of authencity</li> <li>100-page hardcover book: History, Legacy and Legend: Duke Nukem Forever Art from the Vault</li> <li>Duke Nukem Forever postcard series</li> <li>Duke Nukem Forever radioactive emblem sticker</li> <li>Duke Nukem Forever collectible comic book</li> <li>Duke Nukem Forever foldable paper craft</li> <li>Duke Nukem Forever poker chips</li> <li>Duke Nukem Forever mini-card deck</li> <li>Duke Nukem Forever radioactive emblem dice</li> </ul> <p>Ain't that a lot of stuff for the low, low price of $99?

I figure why the hell not? The game has been in <a href="http://duke.a-13.net/" target="_blank">development for close to 15 years</a>, so it would be an injustice NOT to buy that bad-ass Edition.</p> <p>What about you?

The day that Duke Nukem Forever finally sees a <em><strong>definitive</strong></em> release date.</p> <p>May 3, 2011 is the day that <em>Forever</em> finally sees the light of day. And the day that the entire world will stand still at the glorious re-birth of The Duke himself.</p> <p>It's been along time a comin', over 12 years to be precise. You know how long that was? A long fuckin' time. I was actually in High School at the time when I first pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever at EB Games back in '98 or '99(I only wish I had kept that damn receipt, or framed it, damn!). That long ago. Wow. So many things have happened since then. So many things. And now finally after everyone on planet Earth thought this day would never come to fruition, it finally has.</p> <p>And not only that, but Gearbox Software, the makers of the hit-FPS game Borderlands, brought The Duke back from the brink of death. He was like almost dead if it wasn't for Gearbox. You guys fuckin' rock!</p> <p>Anyways, before I keep typing and typing and typing and making every bored to death, here's the new trailer they made, and the trailer even kicks major ass!</p> <p>Duke Nukem Forever is gonna kick ass and chew bubblegum...also to protect our woman from the alien scum on May 3, 2011 in North America and everywhere else on May 6.</p> <p>HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!</p> <p><iframe class="youtube-player" title="YouTube video player" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1-b78TKZIyw?hd=1" frameborder="0" type="text/html" height="750" width="1280"></iframe></p></div>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-61279511144765480312011-01-18T08:02:00.001-08:002011-01-18T08:02:57.174-08:00The History of Gaming ...

That's a savings of $9.89(66%). Isn't that a real steal or what? I think so.</p> <p>Also, there will be big savings on Developer specific games, Indie .... Packs(Indie Fantasy Pack, Indie Fright Pack, etc), along with BIG "Game" Bundles(all Unreal games, all Valve games, etc) for very low prices. That's a lot of savings.</p> <p>I don't know about you, but I'm going to be broke by Jan. 2, like 5 times over.</p> <p>So...what you waiting for?

No surprise there as Angry Birds just cannot be stopped. And with the eventual release on Xbox 360 and PS3, and soon DS thereafter, the bird-flinging, pig destroying game just keeps growing stronger. And why stop there? Some director(like&nbsp;Uwe Boll) will step up and make a movie about the game. Although, that would probably go horribly wrong as the Boll is known for making bad, and horribly graphically violent movies. Not a good fit. Okay, let's just keep the game 'a game' and nothing more..thanks.</p> <p>With that said, Rovio Mobile, the developers of the successful game, today released Angry Birds Seasons onto the Android Market and App Store, respectively.</p> <p>What does that mean? Well, that means you can be enjoying 25 Winter themed levels, but you need be patient, as the first of 25 levels unlocked today, while each additional level unlocking every day up until the big day, December 25, just like an Advent calendar. Isn't that radical? Yes, absolutely!</p> <p>But that's not all...there's more! With a lot of Android users thinking the iPhone/iPad, etc. Halloween Angry Birds never making the dive to your Droid X, the wait is over! The 45 Halloween themed levels are also included with Angry Birds Seasons. That's just insanely awesome...I'm sure everyone is saying!</p> <p>Also of note, in the news filled AB newsletter, Rovio has stated that a paid version of Angry Birds will be available in 'later updates'. That's pretty reassuring. And one last tidbit--the devs also mentioned a "graphically lighter" option will be available in the game, as well, you know, that will be focuses on lower-end devices. Pretty nice!</p> <p>Well..there you have it. Rovio has done it again..great job!</p></div>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-9277163869436731842010-11-30T18:54:00.001-08:002010-11-30T18:54:20.638-08:00The Winter Uprising Is Here..and it kicks ass!

And most are happy with just that.</p> <p>But some have been left a bit disappointed. And why you may ask? Well...there's no Netflix support just yet. And this factor is a big one. Some gamers bought Kinect just for full Netflix motion controls. Other(like me) bought Kinect for the games, and of course, being the Netflix fan that I am, controlling Netflix with my my hands would definitely be a big bonus.</p> <p>Microsoft has not made any announcement yet whether or not Netflix will be supported, but they did say that "certain features" will not be made available at launch. Do you feel that you've been misled by no Netflix support at launch?</p> <p>Honestly, I don't really feel THAT misled. It does suck that Netflix is yet to be supported, but I can see why it isn't...yet. It could be a number of reasons. From technical issues at last minute, to Netflix not wanting to support Kinect. It could be anything. Hell..it could even be that they wanted to wait to release Netflix for Kinect when Hulu launches early next year.</p> <p>When I first bought my Kinect, brought it home and hooked it up, I didn't immediately say, "Where's Netflix support?". I actually played around with it a bit, learned how to properly use it, play Kinect Adventures(which is awesome, by the way!), etc. It was a day later when I realized, "Oh yeah...I wanna watch an episode of The Office...", so then I went to the Kinect Hub and noticed that Zune was there, Last.fm was there, even ESPN was there, but Netflix was no where to be found, I was like, "What?", but wasn't immediately angered by that fact.</p> <p>I then went to Google and searched for answers. I found some news on it, lots of forum posts, but nothing from Microsoft.</p> <p>Anyways, Netflix will be supported. Trust me, if the streaming service is not supported, I can say that many gamers/users will be really, really disappointed even more so than now. And also extremely bad marketing on Microsoft's part especially when Netflix is shown in the Kinect Hub in all those videos. I just watched a 'very recent' Kinect video on Xbox Live that showed Netflix in the Kinect Hub. So I think if Netflix isn't going to be supported, I would imagine all those videos would be taken down and remade so that Netflix isn't shown, giving false hope to everyone who dreamed of having full-motion control over the popular streaming service.</p> <p>I guess we'll see, hopefully sometime in Nov. and no later, even so much as an explanation as to why Netflix wasn't supported at launch.</p> <p>What do you think? Are you happy with not having full-motion Netflix? Or are you just happy with the fact that you can control every aspect of Kinect Adventures with just full-body movement?

It's a very surreal film and very, very, very good.</p> <p>Watch it below and make sure to watch it in HD(full screen, if possible):</p> <p><object height="291" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eRsGyueVLvQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" /></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /></param><embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eRsGyueVLvQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="291" width="500"></embed></object></p></div>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-3011402863454278502010-09-29T07:50:00.001-07:002010-09-29T07:50:09.580-07:00'Splosion Man - Level 2 - Hardcore Mode (Complete)<div class='posterous_autopost'><p><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-09-29/urEuiHJcnDnsvdcHxoibDDlJsrcfAhaaswuvtdfFCcfxdEwCevDwCFoHatyD/splosionman_review.jpg.scaled1000.jpg'><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-09-29/urEuiHJcnDnsvdcHxoibDDlJsrcfAhaaswuvtdfFCcfxdEwCevDwCFoHatyD/splosionman_review.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" height="318"/></a> </p> <p>Sometime yesterday I was finally able to complete Level 2 on the "nearly impossible" Hardcore Mode, not sure how I did it but I did it and only one more Level stands in my way from getting the&nbsp;prestigious achievement.</p></div>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-12265492107425934072010-09-28T11:38:00.001-07:002010-09-28T11:41:52.517-07:00Dead Rising 2 - The Zombies are Back [Reviews]<div class="posterous_autopost"><p><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-09-28/gyeiBGHmiwjhtFGAllAlECyAjzpvFakgeafkFosxcyxtEkfkbGhpBmIemnFx/deadrising2.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-09-28/gyeiBGHmiwjhtFGAllAlECyAjzpvFakgeafkFosxcyxtEkfkbGhpBmIemnFx/deadrising2.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="400" height="274" /></a> </p> <p><a href="http://evanthegamer.posterous.com/dead-rising-2-the-zombies-are-back-reviews-0">See and download the full gallery on posterous</a></p><p></p> <p>It's been awhile since the first hugely successful "use everything as weapons" to "kill hundreds of on-screen zombies at once" game, Dead Rising was released. Nearly over four years ago, gamers around the world felt what it was like to kill a zombie with a bowling ball..with a soda machine..with [insert crazy weapon here] and boy did they love it!</p> <p>Well, this time, the stakes have never been higher with the release of Dead Rising 2 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC! This time around, you can create custom weapons to your liking(sort of) so it's never been easier to kill a zombie with a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W0L-WZZcsg" target="_blank">spiked baseball bat</a>, or whatever else you see lying around. Great stuff!</p> <p>Well, I'll probably be picking up the game, but not entirely sure yet. Here are some reviews below that might help you decide, like it's going to help me decide:</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Game Informer (95/100):</strong> "<em>Even after playing for dozens of hours, you'll still find new things in Dead Rising 2. I won't spoil anything, but there's a lot of variety to be found in the game beyond obvious things like the number of objects that can be used as bludgeons. This game is designed for multiple playthroughs, and I'm looking forward to each and every one of them."</em> <a href="http://gameinformer.com/games/dead_rising_2/b/xbox360/archive/2010/09/24/the-apocalypse-shouldn-t-be-this-much-fun.aspx" target="_blank">Read on...</a></p> <p><strong>GameSpot (8.5/10):</strong> "<em>The Dead Rising formula proves to be as addictive as ever, and a new cooperative mode and weapon crafting system are great additions to the franchise."</em> <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/deadrising2/review.html" target="_blank">Read on...</a></p> <p><strong>IGN (8.0/10):</strong> "<em>It’s not the smoothest game and it can feel like the last one, however that doesn’t mean a thing when the game’s this much fun. Using a car battery and a Street Fighter mask to electrocute the undead and a set of knives and a pair of boxing gloves to make Wolverine claws are all great times. Watching Chuck get covered in blood as he slays thousands of zombies, changing outfits so that one minute you’re in a toddler clothes with a LEGO head and the next you’re in a sundress, and listening to completely whacked out boss stories – that’s what I remember about Dead Rising 2. Any issue the game might have just falls to the backburner."</em> <a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/112/1123121p1.html" target="_blank">Read on...</a></p> <p><strong>Eurogamer (8.0/10):</strong> "<em>But despite the low-level irritations, Dead Rising 2's focus and determination win you over. Its assured grasp of what the game is and what it isn't is worth celebrating. The harder edges of the first game have been softened a little, no doubt thanks to the involvement of a Western studio. The result is a balanced game, at once idiosyncratic, infuriating, funny and ultimately compelling. In both its story and its systems, it holds life and undeath in delicate tension; and as a result, all the loud-mouth college humour and violence fail to mask its tender heart."</em> <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-24-dead-rising-2-review" target="_blank">Read on...</a></p> <p><strong>Kikizo (8.0/10):</strong> "<em>Dead Rising 2 is a serviceable follow-up, and another unique addition to the ranks of zombie bashers. Its uniqueness is of the rough-and-ready variety, however, sparked by colliding clichés, and for all Fortune City’s lashings of sugar, glitter and grey matter, many will find that unevenness hard to bear. Recommended, but watch your step."</em> <a href="http://videogamesdaily.com/reviews/201009/dead-rising-2-review/" target="_blank">Read on...</a></p> <p><object height="291" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNtVLHa-vcs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iNtVLHa-vcs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="291" width="500"></embed></object></p></div>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-90212911508437435902010-09-26T11:13:00.001-07:002010-09-26T11:19:21.221-07:00'Splosion Man - Level 1 - Hardcore Mode (Complete)<div class="posterous_autopost"><p><a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-09-26/zguFcynyGqfAIkkyfiyjpdHeyFhDCaCazmmxkhzHHEjroDIgdkaatzJystyc/splosion_hardcore.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-09-26/zguFcynyGqfAIkkyfiyjpdHeyFhDCaCazmmxkhzHHEjroDIgdkaatzJystyc/splosion_hardcore.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="400" height="275" /></a> </p><p></p> <p>In case some of you didn't know, 'Splosion Man is a wildly successful action/puzzle/platformer game from the indie developer, <a href="http://www.twistedpixelgames.com/">Twisted Pixel</a>, and is extremely fun, both singleplayer and online 2-player co-op.</p> <p>After you complete the game(All three levels), Hardcore Mode is unlocked.

It's a bit over 7 minutes, so it's almost like a short-film, and easily one of the best short-films I've ever seen.<br /><br />They have to make this into a full-length movie. This would change everything. This would sell. This would make millions and make every MK fan very happy. <br /><br />They can't just throw this at us and expect us not to want more. From watching the trailer, it seems like they want to make this a reality. <br /><br />This trailer is incredible, freaking incredible!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">(Watch in 1080p and crank up your speakers, 'cause you are about to watch something phenomenal!)</span></span><br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cs3ROFNxa5M?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cs3ROFNxa5M?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>Evan The Gamernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984154125361846584.post-77775081361338193552010-05-06T18:40:00.001-07:002010-05-06T18:44:28.706-07:00Street Fighter Legacy Is The Real Deal [Short Film]<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img width='460' height='278' style='cursor: -moz-zoom-in;' alt='http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6098/ryuhadouken3.png' src='http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6098/ryuhadouken3.png'/><br /><br />Several days ago, <a target='_blank' href='http://kotaku.com/5530090/this-could-be-the-best-street-fighter-film-ever-created'>Kotaku</a> posted a few clips of Street Fighter Legacy, a short film created by <a target='_blank' href='http://www.joeyansah.com/'>Joey Ansah</a>, the same guy who portrayed Desh in The Bourne Ultimatum.
